Hobgoblin named Best Miniatures Rules 2024

UK GAMES EXPO Judge’s Choice Awards Winner 2024

The UK Games Expo awards recognize the best games in various categories, and we’re so proud to announce that Hobgoblin won the Best Miniatures Rules category. This recognition wouldn’t have been possible without our editors, artists, beta testers, and backers, who all helped make Hobgoblin what it is today. On behalf of Mike and Electi, thank you for recognizing our hard work and supporting independent miniatures games and studios.

Special Thanks

Sean Sutter (Metal King Studio) inspired us and contributed insane photography to Hobgoblin. Glenn Ford (Rule of Carnage), who does so much to support Mike and Hobgoblin. Stuart Warren and David Hoobyar pushed us and read the rules in all its iterations a hundred times. And, of course, CROM, who brought the under-the-surface world of the Rotvarlden into the light.

Hobgoblin is a brutally fast tabletop miniatures wargame of fantasy mass battles from Mike Hutchinson, the designer of the award-winning Gaslands, and featuring original artwork from graphic artists CROM (Raiders, Bird King).

Hobgoblin lets you play out sweeping tabletop battles with your armies of fantasy miniatures in under two hours (instead of four). You are free to collect and use whatever fantasy army you can imagine, and Hobgoblin will allow you to build the rules around it. Flexible army-building rules allow you to field any of your existing miniatures or provide an excuse to buy new armies from any miniature manufacturer.

Hobgoblin is a fantasy mass battle game with an old-school flavour and very modern rules. It will appeal to both longtime players of fantasy army wargames looking for a fresh take on the genre and gameplay, and new players who are curious and excited at the prospect of pushing enormous armies together and watching them brutally destroy each other.
